  • Seen Not Heard

    Growing up in an abusive household has had a constant ripple effect throughout my entire life. I have spent my life attempting to calm the pool. Ironically, attempting to calm waves by physical force creates more of the thing you are trying to stop. This internal and external battle has produced an attitude of apathy

  • Faith, Evidence, & Works

    The “works” most people do are not the ones that actually matter when it comes to evidence. (Rom 2:1-7) We can all do good things but do all those good things prove we have faith? Scripture tells us that works are the evidence of faith. This is supported strongly by Jesus, Paul, James, and others.

  • Lines and Circles

    This is a response on a response that was to a response because of a response from Andy S. So this is probably useless because of how far removed I am from the original. The article was well done and, for the most part, respected Andy: many good points and valid concerns. However, we have

  • Weaker Brother

    How do we determine who is the weaker brother? Rom. 14:1-2 It is hard to see what Paul says when I read these verses. This study has revealed that I have been misreading this passage my entire life.  I have always read this verse as the new believer is the weaker, and the spiritually mature

  • Where Did They Go?

    A response to the goal: “I don’t want my children to walk away from the church, so I must find one they enjoy going to.” The way all humans act, and the decisions they make are heavily determined by what they believe. This stays consistent with our children. Their action will be directly tied to

  • Surrender

    Tonight is the third night in which I cannot turn my brain off. There is so much between work, money, family, and the individual. I feel as tho I left shore a month ago and thought I could stay in the bay. Instead, I am almost out to sea, and I can’t tell which direction

  • Responsible Burdens

    In my Tuesday morning bible study, we have been working through Galatians. We just finished, and in the last chapter, I found something often misused. In the last century, we have replaced the word burden with responsibility.  At the end of this, you may conclude I am unempathetic and unloving. I believe the awareness may

  • There is an angst that plagues every situation provoking an over reaction. I cannot control my responses when shame and guilt cloud my mind. The trivial things amplify to a deafening volume.  How do you quiet the voices in your head? How do you explain to others the noise? Can you write your way to

  • While praying this morning, I asked God for confirmation that I am Moses, not the sorcerer. I do not care to be the one conjuring cheap tricks but the one God uses to speak the truth. It is not my truth but His truth. I want to be the mouthpiece, not the wise man. I

  • The Woman

    Interestingly, each time we read through proverbs, “The Woman” emerges. To the devil’s great pleasure, we read it literally and directed it toward every sexually addicted male. It is porn, prostitutes, or just regular unfaithfulness to one’s spouse. We fail to see the foundational truth in the warning. It is much more profound.  16  So
